If I get a $5 ticket and try to sneak into a $10 movie, I could wind up missing half the movie (which makes sense in a way), all without needing additional personnel.<br /><br />OTOH, there is tradition. I don't think a theater could get away with charging different prices for different movies. We're used to one price regardless of movie length or quality.<br /><br />That's another thing, some movies are short and some are long but they all cost the same at the box office. I remember seeing the King Kong remake, they gave us an intermission to use the bathroom. That cost the same as a shorter movie.Jasonnoreply@blogger.com
